APPOINTING COMMITTEES.

By the time Speaker CARLISLE gets
through organizing the house commit
tees he will probably be sorry that his
competitor was not elected. Ii there
ever was worrisome job. it is the one
the presiding officer of legislative body
has in making I'D his committees. This
is particularly true of a body like con-
gress, where every member is ambitious
/ of national distinction, and at the same
time has number of local axes to
grind. 1t is said that Mr.. CARLISLE
entertains the opinion that meUbers
should be assigned to committees where
they will be of most service to the
country at large. But he finds
two difficulties confronting him i'll
his effort to carry this idea into effect.
In the first place there are great many
new members, of whose abilities and
special qualifications he has had no OPP
portunity to Judge. In the next place
the members, almost TO man, place an
entirely different estimate on their IN
dividual abilities from what the speaker
is disposed to gauge them. Then again
there are half dozen committees that
are considered to be the choicest ones,
and every member wants to get on one
of these. As only fourteen members can
be assigned to one committee, 1t Is easy
to imagine the difficulty the speaker
has in fixing the three hundred mem
bers without producing dissatisfaction.
The WAYS and means and the approprla-
tion committees are considered the
POSTS of honor, and no member VIII
turn a cold shoulder to either OF them.
But the most popular one OF all IS the
commerce committee. This is the one
that has the distribution of the river
and harbor fund, and every member
Whohas a frog pond in his district wants
to get on thi; a. mmittee in order that he
may get a local appropriation. Ihere
is nothing that will make a congress
man stronger at home than his ability
TO give his constituents whack at the
treasury. AS a matter of course, the
speaker has a desire, i'll the appoint
ment of his committees. to fix each
member satisfactorily. But he can't
do it, you know. He must select
from the number of applicants Tor the
various places Just such men as he be-
Iieves to be best qualified to discharge
the peculiar duties of the places to
which they are assigned. In this way
not one out of ten will get the place he
sought, and for weeks after the commit
tees are announced nine-tenths OF the
members will be sOre-headed and will
be going around through the corridors
growing at the speaker. No, the
speakership Is not a desirable post. The
salary of the Office doesn't begin to COM
pen. ate for the worry and veXatiOn OF
spirit that it brings. That's why we
say that before he is through with or
ganizng his committees, he will wish
that the other fellow had been elected
TO congress.

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT

1t is to be hoped that congress will do
something at its present session toward
taking the necessary steps for establish
ing an international copyright. Though
every other country is ready to enter
into an agreement, congress, possibly
through ignorance. has perSistently re-
fused to consider the inter. This
country is, therefore, in the unique po-
sitiOn of being a receiver of stolen
goods.
The protection of the brain work of
both foreign and native authors is the
one kind of vigorous protection which
this country can well afford to maintain,
for it differs from all other kinds of pro
lection in that by the establishment of
the copyright the productions of Ameri-
can writer's are prevented from coming
into competition with and being over
whelmed by foreign brain creations,
which are literally and abso-
lutely stolen by the American
publishers. The authors of this
country are willing enough to meet
foreign authors on common ground.
They ask for nothing more than they
are willing. even anxious 10 cOncede.
They suffer abroad from the same evil
that foreign authors suffer here, the
stealing of their literary wares, and they
desire mutual protection. Authors
abroad are clamOrous for it.
As it is. the moment a successful
book is issued on the other side of the
ocean it is Immediately pirated over
here and sold at rate that.
besides being ruinous to its COM
petitors, affords the author no
recOmpense whatever Even if the
people who buy books were not
able to pay the legitimate price of a
given work the right of this govern
ment to enable them to buy stolen
goods at ridiculOusly low prices is NOR
ally questionable. There can never be
the best possible development of Am
erican literature until the book pirates
are suppressed, but even were there
nothing of the kind, every principle of
Justice would point out the govern
ment's duty to prevent the continued
distribution of stolen literary goods.
The man who inventS some useful
continuance is guaranteed the fruits sof
his discovery for number of years by
means of a patent. and in the same way
the man who writes book should have
his interests guarded by means of the

it is reliably stated, offered to furnish

mer president of the Reading railroad,
Franklin B. Gowen. Their places

known as ''scabs," and for long time
there was bitter feeling in the cOmmu-
nifty against them, especially as the
riots during the strike of 1877 in this
city resulted in an attack by the Fourth
regiment, n. q. P, in which about a
dozen men We're killed and about
seventy OF eighty wounded The fami-

GUARD THE TRACKS,

There is one danger peculiar to the
operation of railroads in the Northwest
during the winter months that two re-
cent accidents, fortunately not as seri-

strongly emphasize. j.. 1t is the liability
of the rails to contract under the infiu-
ence of intense cold. or even the posi-
bility of their splitting and thus prepar-
ing the way for the derailment of the
first train that attempts to run over
them.
This danger is such an ever present
one that it should be especially well
guarded against. Ordinarily the tracks
are patrolled with more or less care, but
it is obviously impossible for man haV-

daily to give it the same careful atten-
ton in winter as he could in summer, a
time when there is less reason for vigi-
lance. The number of track walkers
should be doubled, and during the prev
alence of cold weather every rail, and
particularly every switch, should receive
careful inspection.
Both public and companies are likely
to become needless of the dangers of
travel after long season of immunity
from accidents, but it would be well to
exercise little precautiOn before some
great catastrophe hOrrifies the public
mind, and points out the negligence
which Only good fortune has prevented

HIS ELONGATED PALATE.
Singular Experience of Pitts
burger With Something Hang
ing Down His Throat.

Il l.
Friedrich Huffman, a German, who
has lately come to live ON the south
side of Pittsburg, says the Dispatch
was relieved of a very singular case of
abscess, which had formed in his throat.
frightening his palate to the extent of
city from New Castle, which place, he
seys. he left because diphtheria was
raging in terrible form. Last Tues
day he felt peculiar itching in his
throat, which caused him very severe
pain. In a few days it seemed to him
as if he had something hanging down
his throat like strip OF flesh. He en-
deavored to eXpectOrate 1t, but he
could get no relief. Sometimes 1t
seemed to him as if the object was
hanging down his throat and press
ing against his breast. Then he would
attempt to cough, hoping to spit it out,
but the formation would stop his throat
up and prevent him from breathing.
During all this time he could not eat, as
it was impossible for him to swallow.
Yesterday the pain increased to such an
extent that he was in danger of choking.
He ran to DR.. w. W. J. Riggs and asked
him to examine his throat. As soon as
the physician looked into the mans
mouth he noticed an elOngatiOn of the
palate or uvua. Taking an instrument
he pulled at it. and to his own astonish-
ment he found an abscess, which had
formed at the point of the palate and
heightened it to the amount of three
inches. He at once took knife and cut
about an inch and half off. The cut
bled profusely for long time, but the
palate was gradually reduced to It's nor
NAL size.
The physician stated that such thing
as the formation of an abScess at the
point of the palate was an entirely new
thing in his experience.

THE WAR CLOUD,

The war cloud which has been gath
ering for so long hangs persistently
over Europe. Sitting down and sorting
through the mass of contradictory mat
ter which the cable brings US from the
various foreign capitals, the situation
seems to be that Russia intends sooner
or later to proceed to aggressive meas
ures along the lines she long since
worked out just as soon as she thinks it
safe to do so.
In the MuscOvite mind there are two
well-defined ideas-the possession of
COnstantinople, within the sight of
whose gilded dOmeS and minaretS Rus
STA well remembers that she has once
been. and the march INTO India, of which
the English are so much afraid. Russia
is on the alert, and all the other nations
are keeping an anxious eye on her
movements. She knows well how to
study the doctrine of chances. and she
has learned well the lesson of patience.
She will wait until the chances are in
her favor and then she will strike.
So long as Germany and Austria pre-

self with another nation, he at the same
time observes a sufficient lack of cOhe-
siveness among the countries which
now present a solid front toward Russia,
it will not take him long to set all
Europe i'll an uprOar.
1t will come sooner or later, and can
not be very long delayed, but the exact
time of its coming the car alone
knows. In the meantime America is

With perhaps four exceptions, every
newspaper published in the Second dis

for second term. Yet this district was
the only one in the state that stood SOL
idly for him in the last election, and to
this fact he owes his success. The pa
perS of this district were against Mr..
McGill then. but he secured the nOmi-
nation, and they either let him alone or
heartily supported him. The governor
should not ask them to do it again, but
having been exalted by their patriotism,
should now return the favor by step

AROUND THE WORLD.
Remarkable Tramp Trip of a Boy
Now in q Louisville Hospital.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. GA boy in the
city hospital here is described on the
register as ''Charles Bowman, fourteen
years old; occupation, tramp" He
says he was born in London, Ont, and
was left an orphan when eight years
old. He ran away from the Frenchman
who adopted him and went to Kingston.
Then he slipped aboard an English
trader and remained hidden i'll the hold,
where a sailor fed him for twenty-One
days. When the vessel put out to sea
the youngster came on deck, to the as
constituent of the officers. In Liver
pool he shipped in a channel vessel, and
for year was purser's boy. In 1888 he
was taken aboard the AgincOurt, an
East India Conpany's steamer, and
made his way by the Mediterranean and
Suez canal into the Red sea, thence to
all the trading ports of the Indian ocean
and to Hong Kong, where he shipped on
the Pekin, cOOlie transport, and sailed
to Hawaii, where he remained short
time, and then made his way to San
Francisco, at which city he arrived in
August, 1856.
He then returned to his Canadian
home and found his old master dead;
but the fever for travel was OH him, and
he once more went to England, this
time on a Cunard steamer, wherein he
acted as a cabin-boy. He returned to
Canada last summer, and again started
on his travels. He went to Buffalo in
September and remained some weeks
at Niagara. He then determined to go
to New Orleans, and thence to Mexico,
and he was on his way thither when
stricken by disease here.
He follows in travelling the most dan
erous method used by tramps, that of
clinging to the brake and the trucks OF
passenger coaches. He disdains to
travel by freight trains. and says only
the chicken-hearted and inexperienced
think of riding in such slow convey
ance.
Bowman speaks several languages
and reads and writes well, considering
the little schooling he has had. 1ester-
